Configuring the Versalar 15000

When you enter configuration commands, they immediately modify the configuration.

The Versalar™ 15000 uses a hierarchical tree configuration model similar to the DOS hierarchy of directories and files. The configuration tree for the Versalar 15000 contains:

•Objects: An Ethernet interface or a protocol is an object (a physical or logical entity you can configure).

•Parameters: Characteristics of an object; slot and connector are parameters of the object mct3. Parameters have values; for example, slot 4 is a parameter-valuepair.

Starting at the root level, you build a BCC™ configuration by adding objects to the tree. Every object occupies a specific level, or context, within the tree. Figure 1 shows the BCC commands you enter to create a sample portion of the tree.
